Anybody set up Django using Dreamhost?

[s***@gmail.com]

I'm working my way through the tutorial on Dreamhost's wiki
(http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Django) and came upon a problem,
namely the django-admin.py: command not found prompt.

I understand that the paths within the .bash_profile file within the
root directory must point towards the django-admin.py file within
django's bin directory. I've triple checked the paths but no avail, I'm
beginning to tear my hair out and can't see for the life of me whats
wrong.

My .bash_profile is simply this:

# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1). umask 002 PS1='[\h]$'
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/django_src/django/bin
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/django_src:$HOME/django_projects

I've attached a screenshot of the directory structure within my ftp
client here:

If somebody could point out whats wrong, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks Jay, I've actually tried to set up Django twice, once using
Jeff's guide and another time using the wiki, but on both occasions the
same problem occured.

Hi Simon,

Try this instead:
python django-admin.py

If you want any specific help with Dreamhost setup, you can try
contacting me via gtalk and I'll have a chat with you.

SmilyChris, you've made me SmilySimon, thanks a million! For anyone
else out there, just navigate to the directory django-admin.py is in
e.g.

cd\django_src\django\bin

then type
python django-admin.py startproject myproject

Wait... Were you trying to run 'django-admin.py startproject
myproject' from your Windows machine?

Did you try doing:
echo $PATH

Yip, I tried that Jay, the result was:

***@gummi:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/kimizu/django_src/dja:/home/kimizu/django_src/django/bin

My initial feeling about this was the that the django-admin.py wasn't
found due to the directory structure within the .bash_profile file.

Did you run "source ~/.bash_profile"? If yes, try to run "python
django-admin.py etc". Hope it works :)

Thanks for your reply Julio, yes I've tried "source ~.bash_profile"
before typing "django-admin.py startproject myproject" but still the
prompt says "command not found".

Go into your django_src directory, then:
mv dja ../django_projects

Error message,
mv: cannot stat `dja': No such file or directory.

I think I'll just delete everything and start over again

After logging into Putty, if I type echo $PATH I get:

***@gummi:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/home/kimizu/django_src/dja:/home/kimizu/django_src/django/bin

I would avoid the Wiki tutorial completely and use Jeff Croft's guide:
http://www2.jeffcroft.com/2006/may/11/django-dreamhost/
